A prism is a generic term which refers to a 3-dimensional object with two congruent faces which are joined together by a face or faces. A cylinder, for example, is a crystal. Furthermore, the shape of the cross section depends on the inclination of the slicing plane.

length = volume/cross-section
What is the difference between the cross section of a pyramid and the cross section of a prism?
The cross section of a pyramid shrinks from the shape of the base down to a point as you move along its axis from the base to the apex. The cross section of a prism is constant along its axis.
